    ****...


    I am connected to Gigabit ethernet internet via ethernet of course...


    I have never seen this message We'll download the updates as soon as you connect to Wi-Fi. when attempting to update Windows 10.... After doing some research - I could not find a thread that had an actual reason why this was happening... So I just pulled the plug and connected to my wifi and it immediately started downloading. WHAT A JOKE Microsoft...


    Has anyone else seen this, or know why this happened...


    Thanks

    wi fi connection

    After windows 1903 update I don't have any wi fi connection or icon showing and have tried many suggestions on how to get it, but none have worked.

    Can you provide a step by step instruction on how to get wi fi icon and network.

    Wi-Fi losing connection on large downloads

    I have a laptop here which loses it's Wi-Fi connection during long downloads. Pinging for hours on end is no problem, but as soon as I try to download something large Windows claims that I have no internet access and it can't reach the gateway anymore.

    The adapter is configured via DHCP and the lease is correct and remains through the connection loss. Replacing the Wi-Fi adapter, the motherboard or the inbuilt antennas does nothing, as does using a fresh Windows install on a test HDD.

    I am quite at a loss here. Do you guys have any idea what other cause this could have?

    How to indicate wi-fi connection on taskbar/desktop with ethernet on

    Using 'Select which icons appear...' I'm only able to toggle this one network icon. And it switches from wired to wireless, depending on whether the ethernet cable is plugged in.

    Of course, the info is there, I just got used to not having to click on the icon. I always just looked at the corner of the screen every few minutes to make sure the wi-fi was still connected and ready in case my wired connection failed.

    It's just strange for me that in the same scenario (ethernet connection + wi-fi active), Windows 7 would show the wireless icon (and it wasn't possible to change it either AFAIK), and Windows 10 shows the other one *sarc

    Oh well, it's not the end of the world if it's impossible to change it, but any other suggestions on how to display the wi-fi state on the taskbar (or desktop) are still welcome.
